My 7 moth old suddenly stopped eating solid food

Hello!
I started introducing solids to my baby at around 6 month and she was eating small amounts 1 time a day and breastfeeding. After her monthly check up the paediatrician suggested to add another meal and a friut after her nap because her weight had only increased by 250g since last month check up. I am trying to feed her now but she suddenly is not eating anything at all. She refuses even to try the food. She won’t hold any food in her hand and nor try and put it in the mouth. I am so worried and questioning myself what have done wrong. I don’t want to force feed her but I don’t want her to lose weight.
Any suggestions please?

Teething

Don't put too much pressure on her to eat, you'll put her off. Keep offering a range of stuff and she'll get back to it when she's ready. In the meantime, give her more milk.

My ds always went off his food when he was teething . I'd keep offering food but I'd increase the bottles a bit until their appetite returns a bit

Nothing to worry about. Just keep offering and then give her milk as usual. Dd stopped eating solids when she was one after she had really bad tonsillitis. Didn’t have anything but milk, yogurt and ice cream for a whole year. She came back to it eventually

I keep checking on her gums everyday but nothing yet, but I can see she is really frustrated all day long. I guess teeths will appear soon.
